Admissions Requirements

Students who have graduated from an accredited electrical and computer engineering program in the United States are normally admitted if their average is B or better. Students with less than a B average may, under certain circumstances, be admitted on a conditional basis.

Graduates from programs other than electrical and computer engineering--such as mathematics, physics, and other engineering areas--normally will be admitted if their average is B or better. However, they must satisfy or prove proficiency in the electrical and computer engineering undergraduate curriculum in effect at the time of matriculation. Normally this means completing some undergraduate courses before pursuing graduate study. Some students may be able to take graduate and undergraduate courses at the same time. Students in this category should contact the department's graduate coordinator for specific details concerning their individual cases.

International students are required to take the general test of the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) before their application will be considered. This requirement is waived for those international students who obtained their undergraduate degree in the U.S. from an ABET accredited institution. Financial aid is awarded on a competitive basis. The TOEFL exam is required for applicants whose first language is not English. A minimum score of 525 (paper test) or 193 (computer test) is required for admission. A minimum score of 600 (paper test) or 247 (computer test) is required for teaching assistantships.
